2008點･心設計邀請展__文房五十
繼2007年以「五十凳」探究庶民生活文化之後，「點･心」今年將主題拉到古代文人的生命格調與審美追求上。「文房五十」藉由講座、參訪與閱讀，親近明、清文人精雅的生活追求，與背後蘊涵的價值追求與人生態度。
「文房」讓人可以直接聯想到「文房四寶」，讀書人或知識分子經世的「工具」;也能泛指「文人書房中的一切物品」(大至傢俬擺設，小至怡情小物);進而還能擴大到文人透過物質世界的刻意營造中，所要抒發的特定生活態度與人性價值。主題給了寬鬆的詮釋空間，讓受邀的設計師可以依個人的體會與企圖，自在地徜徉。
最終展現的五十件作品，由傢俱、燈具到文具，品類繁多，件件都是設計師在思考過現代書房環境之後，所投射出來的需求與企盼。整體作品由對生活品質的具體追求，到審美意趣的表現，呈現出豐富多彩的面向。
